Hi Russel,

My patch only delete packages in boost-defaults that will always be impossible to install, as the mpi packages in boost1.40 or boost1.42 has been dropped, as stated in the changelog:
boost1.40 (1.40.0-4ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian testing. Remaining changes:
  * Drop libboost-mpi from the package: nothing uses this, and we don't want
    to pull all of the mpi packages into main.

My patch only put in sync boost-default with boost-1.42.

If you want the packages libboost-mpi-* to be back, please open a bug against boost1.42 package.

In the actual state, my patch is a good solution: it fixes FTBFS with packages that depends on libboost1.40-all-dev.
